Who killed President Habyarimana?

President Habyarimana was assassinated on 6 April 1994. To date no inquiry was set up to find the culprits. WHY? Only a month and a half after the February 2005 attack which claimed the life of former Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri, the UN Security Council authorised the establishment of an international commission of inquiry to highlight responsibilities. It was the same a year after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. Sixteen years on, nothing was done to find out who was behind the killing of two incumbent African presidents. Do we have to talk of international conspiracy to conceal the truth? However, whoever killed President Habyarimana is responsible for the atrocities that followed his death and will one day respond to these ignoble acts.

“I would like to appear before the ICTR as soon as possible regarding this matter,” Dr Rudasingwa said to Hirondelle. “I am not just requesting this. I am demanding it as a witness to the most pivotal event in the 20th century whose consequences remain tragic almost two decades later.”

On 1 October 2011, Rwanda National Congress co-founder, Theogene Rudasingwa confirmed that his former Rwandan Patriotic Front colleague, Paul Kagame, is personally responsible for downing Habyarimana's plane -- the event that initiated the Rwandan genocide. There has been virtually no response from Kigali on Rudasingwa's allegation, although I hear from trusted sources that Kagame is fuming mad.

Theogene Rudasingwa is by far the most senior former ally of Paul Kagame to have made the allegation that Mr Kagame was responsible for shooting down the plane carrying Juvenal Habyarimana. Kagame has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attack. He told the BBC's HardTalk programme in 2007: "I am not responsible for Habyarimana's death and I don't care, I wasn't responsible for his security and he wasn't responsible for mine either. He wouldn't have cared if I had died and I don't care that it happened to him."

The truth must now be told. Paul Kagame, then overall commander of the Rwandese Patriotic Army, the armed wing of the Rwandese Patriotic Front, was personally responsible for the shooting down of the plane. In July, 1994, Paul Kagame himself, with characteristic callousness and much glee, told me that he was responsible for shooting down the plane. Despite public denials, the fact of Kagame’s culpability in this crime is also a public “secret” within RPF and RDF circles. Like many others in the RPF leadership, I enthusiastically sold this deceptive story line, especially to foreigners who by and large came to believe it, even when I knew that Kagame was the culprit in this crime.

That attack was surely one of the worst terrorist acts of the 1990s.
Think about it! Two African heads of state were killed–President Cyprien
Ntaryamira of Burundi was also in the plane ­, the fragile peace based
on the Arusha accords of 1993 was shattered, war resumed, and masses of
people were massacred. And the culprits are still free.

Sources close to the French anti-terrorism prosecution in Paris have informed AfroAmerica Network that the French anti-terrorist Judges Marc Trevin and Nathalie Poux will soon issue arrest warrants for six close aides to Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The six are accused of shooting down a plane carrying the late Rwandan and Burundian Presidents Juvenal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira.

A French judge has filed preliminary charges against six people close to President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, including the defense minister, over the 1994 assassination of the country’s then-president in a missile attack on his plane, their lawyers said Thursday.

THE Minister of Justice, Tharcisse Karugarama, gave to the French legal team currently in the country to investigate the cause of the plane crash that killed former Rwandan president, Juvenal Habyarimana, documents containing original copies of testimonies pertaining to how the plane was shot.

Two French judges and a bevy of experts are in Rwanda to investigate charges instituted by French Judge Louis Bruguiere against top Rwandan officials. In 2006, Judge Bruguiere issued arrest warrants for 40 Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) officials accusing them of downing the plane in which former Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana was killed in 1994.

"The report of the Mutsinzi commission attempts to show that President Habyarimana‟s airplane was not downed by the RPF, as the French investigating judge Bruguière concluded but by Hutu radicals who were close to the main victim of the attack. The report raises a number of serious questions", Professor Filip Reyntjens

From the outset of the Rwandan civil war in 1990, Washington's hidden agenda consisted in establishing an American sphere of influence in a region historically dominated by France and Belgium. America's design was to displace France by supporting the Rwandan Patriotic Front and by arming and equipping its military arm, the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA)

They write, "This Committee was put in place to block the international warrants for arrest issued by the French Judge Jean Louis Bruguière after eight years of inquiry on the terrorist attack of April 6 1994. We see in the Mutsinzi Report the RPF final attempt to definitely hush up the truth on its responsibility in the Rwandan tragedy in general and in the assassination of President Habyarimana in particular."

Who killed President Habyarimana?

Genocide Inflation is the Real Human Rights Threat"USA knew KAGAME was genociding Hutus",(Prof. Edward S. Herman). According to Prof Herman, The plane was shot down by Paul Kagame and his Tutsi associates, with active or tacit help from the Belgians, UN representative Romeo Dallaire, and possibly the CIA.

Did Kagame kill Habyarimana?

A sham report on the downing of former President Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane has concluded that the ex-President was killed by his own henchmen who were against the idea of sharing power with the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).

Majot Pilot Jacques Kanyamibwa says that the Mutsinzi committee did not find any culprit within the FARs because it looked on the wrong side of the coin. Those who downed the Rwandan presidential plane could not be within the FARs and the RPA at the same time. English version is now available.

The report of the Mutsinzi commission attempts to show that President Habyarimana’s airplane was not downed by the RPF, as the French investigating judge Bruguière tried to demonstrate, but by Hutu radicals who were close to the main victim of the attack. The report raises a number of serious questions. The committee claims to be independent, but all the commissioners are members of the RPF, which means that it is both judge and party. English version is also available.
